President Obama and the First Lady declined dinner with the French First Family even though they're staying at the nearby U.S. Ambassador's residence. The Obamas are there to attend tomorrow's D-Day ceremony at the U.S. cemetery above Omaha Beach. It's no secret that Obama and Sarkozy aren't close buddies as both have publicly and privately criticized each other. But to decline a host president's dinner invitation when you're literally staying next door... that's truly immature and ungracious, not to mention unstatemanlike.
And sadly it's not just with the French. America's relations with Germany is also rocky.
But President Obama sure took his time in Egypt, didn't he?
